comfortable

at 137 m (450ft) Kits pool is the longest outdoor saltwater pool in North America...salt water is pumped in from the bay, and then heated, making it a much more comfortable option than the ocean

quite the aquatic scene, swimmers, tiny sail boats, larger sailboats and then ships in the background.

Cripes, 137m?? Take me all day to do one length! I agree with Walter, the backdrop is a great contrast to the swimming pool

A beautiful setting for the pool as your composition well shows. Must be wonderful to swim in luxury beneath the mountains and the sky.
Julie Oldfield10-Sep-2021 16:17
Definitely cleaner too. I’d rather swim there than the bay with the ships. I like the contrast between the pool and bay. V

A long pool with warm salt water and in the vicinity of wonderful landscape....how smashing and exceptional! V

What an inviting pool - so nice to have warmed sea water !!
Nirvan Hope10-Sep-2021 04:30
There should be more of these! I might even start swimming again!

A great Idea! Nice shot with that interesting background.

Comfortably larger than a few Olympic-sized pools - makes the coach saying just a few more laps altogether different.

The swimmers can race the sail boats as they come by. Heated water sounds good. V

I didn't know it is the longest...great for physical distancing while doing laps. V
Hank Vander Velde09-Sep-2021 22:48
Doing a few laps in that should burn some calories.

So cool seeing folks enjoying the water next to the water.
Helen Betts09-Sep-2021 18:32
Impressive pool, set against a great background. Interesting that it's the same water as in the distance.
Allan Jay09-Sep-2021 18:25
excellent composition

That does look like a long pool! When I was growing up the pool my family belonged to did the same thing. Brought the water in from Manhasset Bay and heated it up.

Interesting idea! V

So nice idea, to swimm in a pool next to the sea. V.

What a great idea. It looks like they filter the water too. Like the view with this background.
